An American friend on Cheap Adsl Modem visit to Singapore some time back stumbled upon colourful and delicious gooey desserts which Webmailtmnet had never tasted or heard before. I said to him those were called Kuih or sometimes spelt Web Mail Tmnet kueh, and these Broadband Laptop originated from the Malays, a race of Tmnet from Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore.
My friend thought it remarkable that these kuihs were little known to the western world, especially in the USA and Europe, where people love cheesecakes and puddings and fudge, Streamyx Bill too would love to not only eat these kuihs, but make them internet provider well. And so of course I packed for him a nice box of kuih as a gift when he left which I am sure he must have eaten them all at the airport.
If you must know, these kuihs were created in the deep Malay villages by resourceful grandmothers who created recipes made from whatever ingredients that were available then like tapioca flour, palm sugar, coconut internet browser glutinuous rice, green beans, banana leaves, pandan leaves etc. And of course they had hosting web flour and sugar as well. They did not have ovens back then, so these kuihs were mostly steamed or grilled.
The end results are moist, rich, chewy desserts and for those that have palm sugar in them, would guarantee the equivalent of chocolate melt. And the colours will make any chef pleased and happy.
The kuih recipes had since then travelled from the deep villages of Indonesia and Malaysia when our forefathers migrated to the Dslnet and other countries.
Today Malay kuih recipes have expanded into many versions but essentially using the base ingredients like coconut milk, sugar (white or brown),eggs, flour (several types), just like western desserts must have their butter, sugar, eggs and cake flour.
But that is not all. Variety is indeed the malaysia broadband of life, no pun intended - these kuihs also come in savoury version where spices are sometimes added and eaten as snacks or in between meals. In fact, Asians eat sweet or savour desserts for breakfast, as snacks, at teatime or just in between meals. Or served to guests whenever they drop in.
I especially love Kuih Pulut Panggang where grated coconut cooked with spice is wrapped around steamed glutinuous rice and then wrapped in banana leaf and grilled. Imagine the smell and taste contrast of the plain glutinuous rice and the spicy coconut, heightened by the smell of banana leaf.
Many people have made a living from streamyx adsl and selling these kuihs, some at the back streets, at the market and little dessert stores. These days hotel chefs have started to serve them at functions and catering businesses have thrived as well.
Another friend recently arrived in Singapore and I got him about 8 different pieces of kuih. He said he couldn't possibly finish them all and would share with his room mates. But he ended eating them all because they all tasted deliciously and interestingly different.
